Chapter 151: Eight Thousand Traitors Appear

At this moment, Jiang Huai and Nan Batian sensed that the atmosphere was not quite right, and after the two exchanged a glance.

Jiang Huai stepped out first and shouted to the crowd: "Everyone, don't be deceived by that old thief Lin. He just wants to use everyone's strength to destroy the Su Clan Protective Array and then wipe us all out in one fell swoop."

"Everyone, think it over carefully. Once you are used by that old thief Lin Taian, we will all end up as playthings in his hands!"

Nan Batian also chimed in: "That's right, everyone must not be blinded by this treacherous villain Lin Taian!"

Listening to the two's admonitions, the expressions of the crowd were all very ugly.

What these two said was correct; if they were fooled by a cunning person like Lin Taian, I fear that when the array was broken, it would be the time for them to have no place to be buried.

Moreover, they did not wish to implicate their own families, friends, or lovers because of this matter.

Once their operation to destroy the Array Eye failed, they would become the target of everyone's hostility.

This risk was too high; no one was willing to take the gamble.

Seeing this scene, Lin Taian's expression immediately sank, and he shouted coldly: "Hmph, two old dogs, are you sowing discord?"

"Old thief Lin, you're the damn old dog!"

"Haha, the old dog Lin is getting anxious."

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian and Jiang Huai immediately retorted.

"What? Could it be that this old man is wrong?"

Lin Taian sneered: "I, Lin Taian, have always been a man of my word; I will absolutely fulfill the promises I have made. Yet some people, disregarding everyone's interests, are here stirring up trouble."

But just as Lin Taian's voice fell, a chorus of boos suddenly erupted among the many rogue cultivators of Donghua Continent.

"This despicable villain just likes to instigate us, making us help them deal with the Su Family."

"Hmph, if we help him deal with the Su Family today, wouldn't that just be playing right into their hands?"

"These base villains are not worth trusting!"

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Lin Taian's expression was terrifyingly gloomy.

"Did you hear that, old dog Lin? The cultivators of our Donghua Continent simply don't buy your act."

"We are cultivators of Donghua Continent to begin with; why should we turn against our former fellow Daoists for a few Spirit Stones and end up doing the dirty work for this old dog?"

Jiang Huai and Nan Batian were full of mockery, continuing to add fuel to the fire.

"That's right, it's merely five billion Superior Spirit Stones; there is absolutely no need for us to die in vain for these worldly possessions."

"Exactly!"

The crowd also followed suit, looking at Lin Taian with mocking expressions.

Lin Taian's face turned livid, his old face black and frightening.

He had originally thought that after throwing out so many Superior Spirit Stones, at least two or three thousand cultivators would step forward.

But the result was that these people would rather forgo those five billion Superior Spirit Stones than help him deal with the Su Family.

Seeing the mocking smiles on the corners of these people's mouths, Lin Taian gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had no way to vent his fury.

At this moment, he wished he could rush up and tear these few clowns to pieces.

But in the end, he suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Fellow Daoists, stay calm, this old man hasn't finished speaking yet! These five billion Superior Spirit Stones were merely the deposit I, Lin Taian, gave to you fellow Daoists."

"What? Five billion Superior Spirit Stones is just the deposit?"

Upon hearing Lin Taian's words, the crowd was instantly astonished.

Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Lin Taian's mouth as he said: "Correct, these five billion Superior Spirit Stones are just the deposit. My Lin Family has prepared a reward of twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones for the first fellow Daoist who destroys the Su Clan Protective Array's Array Eye!"

Having said that, he waved his large hand, and the area of the Spirit Stone mountain at his feet was exactly four times larger than before!

Seeing so many Spirit Stones, the crowd was stunned once again.

Twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones!

The breathing of everyone present became heavy.

Twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones—this was simply an immense, heaven-defying fortune!

At this moment, many cultivators with weak willpower could not even help but shed tears of excitement.

If not for the presence of so many fellow Daoists, they would have truly wanted to snatch these twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones on the spot.

It was not just those rogue cultivators.

At this moment, the high-level members of some small and medium-sized families had bloodshot eyes, clenched fists, and surging emotions, wishing they could immediately step forward and claim this huge Spirit Stone mountain.

Such wealth was enough for them to become a top-tier family or even a super family.

Although the high-level members of some large and top-tier families were envious, they were more clear-headed and had not been blinded by the greed in their hearts.

After all, these Spirit Stones were meant to deal with the Su Family, and they all understood that this was Lin Taian's conspiracy.

Since Lin Taian dared to bring out this money and was not afraid of people snatching it, he must be relying on something; if they acted recklessly, they would only be inviting a wolf into the house, and at that time, all their families would suffer.

On the other side, Jiang Huai and Nan Batian exchanged a glance and secretly wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

At the same time, they were secretly thankful that the Su Family Matriarch was clever and had reminded them beforehand to privately win over a group of trustworthy people; otherwise, I fear there would be even more people like those idiots, deceived by this old dog Lin Taian.

"Fellow Daoists, what are you still waiting for? This heaven-defying wealth is right before your eyes. Take a gamble, make a push, and you can be rich for three generations!"

Seeing that the situation was about right, Lin Taian suddenly roared loudly, completely igniting the deep-seated greed in some people's hearts.

Hearing his tempting words, many people's eyes grew even brighter.

Sure enough, someone finally could not suppress the greed in their heart and raised their arms, shouting: "Right, let's gamble! Wealth is sought amidst danger!"

"Right, let's do it! As long as we destroy the Su Clan Protective Array's Array Eye, we get twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones!"

"Let's do it! Kill them all!"

"Kill the Su Family, seize the Array Eye!"

"Let's do it!"

In an instant, roars shook the wilderness.

Immediately after, a dense swarm of cultivators surged out, killing their way toward the Array Eye of the Su Clan Protective Array.

At this moment, these traitors all had bloodshot eyes, as if they had forgotten the Su Family's foundation, and one by one they screamed madly, charging toward the Array Eye.

"Hehe, these idiots are truly stupid; did they really think this old man would give them twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Taian narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of ruthlessness, and said mockingly: "However, stupidity is good; only with stupidity can they easily take the bait."

Having said that, he said to his trusted aide beside him: "Pass down the order, have everyone prepare to attack; once the Array Eye of the Su Clan Protective Array is destroyed, charge into the Su Family immediately and kill all the men!"

"Understood!"

The trusted aide beside him bowed respectfully and retreated to convey Lin Taian's order.

These cultivators participating in the rebellion numbered as many as eight thousand, and by the time they were about to rush to the Array Eye of the Su Clan Protective Array.

They discovered that quite a few neatly arranged soldiers and cultivators were standing there, glaring at them while waiting in full battle array, clearly having made preparations in advance.

"Damn it!"

A burly rogue cultivator with a sturdy build said with a fanatical expression: "Fellow Daoists, these people want to stop us from taking those twenty billion Superior Spirit Stones; what do you say we should do?"
